Adrenal endocrinology in the next 10 years

  1. Precision medicine in the adrenal: translate genetics into predictive medicine and new therapies

  2. Knowledge in adrenal development may lead to the use of organoids and adrenal regrowth/replacement in patients with adrenal failure

  3. Development of new treatments for adrenal cancer is desperately needed

  4. Malignant pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma also needs new treatment options

  5. There is a need for better medical treatment of adrenal insufficiency and subclinical steroid hypersecretion, both excess aldosterone and/or cortisol.
